If You Are Taking ADVAIR
Millions of people with COPD have been prescribed ADVAIR. In fact, every day new patients are prescribed ADVAIR to help treat their COPD.
COPD can have an impact on many parts of your life, including daily activities, hobbies, travel, and relationships. If you have COPD, you may find that your breathing has become difficult while doing some of the things you used to enjoy.
ADVAIR helps significantly improve lung function so you can breathe better* while you experience life’s simple pleasures.
*ADVAIR 250/50 is clinically proven to significantly improve lung function (measured by a breathing test), compared with people taking either fluticasone propionate 250 mcg or salmeterol 50 mcg (inhalation powders). Your results may vary.
